Blogville Olympics: Walkin' About the Neighborhood!

Before I begin with the Blogville Olympic event that I'm hosting... I'd like to ask everyone a favor.  You see... my Grandma Lynda is going in for back surgery today.  Could you please cross your paws and send some positive vibes to her to make sure her surgery goes perfectly?  I'd really appreciate it...
Thanks!
-Corbin

  41. It sure is nice to see so many doggies out and about and enjoying the world (with or without their humans). I know some doggies don't get walkies at all (can you imagine?).

    Relentlessly Huge applause for all the contestants.

  43. So sorry we're late in our comments....
    Awesome job on your Event! It's one WE should have entered butt Muffin hates to walk and if we leave her behind she cries like a baby. So instead we run around our yard chasing squirrels.

    We loved seeing many of our furends at your Event and they are ALL Gold Medal winners in our book!!!

    Many prayers being said for Grandma.

    Hugs,
    Lily Belle
